    If the government issue money for people to spend they won’t spend it, they’ll do like the banks, hold on to it.  Retail sales are going to be down for a long time because people aren’t ready to live beyond their means as before.  They’re trying to get out of debt not stay in debt.  sams club tires

    Dear Judy Comcas:
      If the covernment gave everyone just a little money, yes they would save it so that they would not live beyond their means but I plan to gie them an amount beyond their manss that is what they would save.a a thousand dollars a month for veryone .  There is plenty os money but it is invisible as credit the industrial system has creaed. It is like a bank loan. If you do not pay it back you are in troouble.In the Industrial sysrem all money earned as salary or wages should be spent that is paid back and only money made frominvestments should be saved. The truth is that we are in an Industrial society and noot a capitalistiic society.
